It\u2019s official: Los Feliz has a new reason to brag. M\u00edrate<\/a>, the ambitious Mexican restaurant and bar, has landed on the World\u2019s 50 Best Bars<\/a> extended list for 2025, debuting at No.93 on the 51-100 rankings. The recognition cements what Angelenos already know\u2014this is one of the most exciting drinking and dining destinations in town.<\/p>\n

M\u00edrate marries a refined take on contemporary Mexican cuisine with a cocktail program that feels fresh, playful and distinctly L.A. The drinks lean heavily into mezcal and tequila, but the menu never falls into predictability. Expect smoky riffs on classics, herbaceous creations that highlight California\u2019s bounty and drinks designed to pair seamlessly with the kitchen\u2019s bold flavors.<\/p>\n

As Time Out Los Angeles explained in an interview with\u00a0beverage director Max Reis<\/a> last year: “Another unique aspect of the restaurant\u2019s cocktail program? Pre-Hispanic fermented beverages, listed on M\u00edrate\u2019s menu as bebidas ancestrales. Made with Indigenous culinary techniques, they\u2019re fairly hard to find in Los Angeles\u00a0outside of a few street vendors<\/a>. At M\u00edrate, Reis typically serves tepache, a lower-ABV drink based on pineapple rinds and spices plus pulque, a syrupy, kombucha-like fermented agave sap beverage. The latter has a fairly short shelf life, so it\u2019s not always available in its pure form. When a given batch is about to turn, Reis turns the pulque into vinegar for culinary use.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

But M\u00edrate\u2019s atmosphere might be its secret weapon. With its expansive, greenery-filled patio and stylish interiors, it\u2019s the kind of place where golden hour stretches into a night you don\u2019t want to end. The vibe shifts naturally from lively dinners to late-night energy, making it equally ideal for date nights, group outings, or simply sipping a mezcal cocktail under the stars.<\/p>\n

The World\u2019s 50 Best Bars is widely regarded as the definitive ranking in global cocktail culture, voted on by more than 800 bartenders, writers and industry insiders. Each year, the 51\u2013100 list drops first, setting the stage for the live countdown of the top 50. This year, the final unveiling takes place on October 8 in Hong Kong, where the world\u2019s best bars will be honored before an international audience.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles has long been a cocktail city hiding in plain sight, and this recognition proves it\u2019s time to put the Eastside firmly on the global map. M\u00edrate isn\u2019t just one of the world\u2019s best bars; it\u2019s proof that L.A. can do world-class without losing its easygoing cool. Now, let’s wait to see if other L.A. bars will join it when the full list is announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s official: Los Feliz has a new reason to brag.
